About the Author

Charles D. Davies has a bachelor's degree in Fire Services management. He worked as a paramedic, assistant platoon chief, and firefighter for over 36 years. Adventure has been a central theme in his life, illustrated by both his career choice and his early decision to leave home and move to the mountains. It's no wonder that many of the experiences of the main character are his own-he had a lot to draw from. Davies has been a student of good writing and storytelling for most of his life, but Ordinary is his first novel.

Davies is divorced, and plans on retiring to Campbell River, B.C., to continue his extraordinary life.
